Internet Service Providers
Campus and Stiern Library resources that can be
accessed from a web browser are available to students from home. Some
resources require an Runner Card (CSUB student ID) as well as special additions to
your web browser (see below). Software programs found in the
labs, such as Microsoft Office, Minitab, SPSS, etc., cannot be accessed
from home.
The campus does not offer Internet access to students--you will need a local or regional
Internet Service Provider
to facilitate this connection.
Please note that some ISP's (such as AOL) use non-standard software, and
you may have problems accessing campus resources.
Supported Web Browsers
The campus supported web browser is Netcape Navigator or Communicator. You can download
Netscape's browser even if you use an ISP which provides another browser (such as AOL),
or if you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Communicator for Windows 3.x,
Windows 95/98/NT,
Macintosh PPC
Additions to Your Browser
This method requires VT100 terminal emulation software such as Kermit,
Versaterm, or Procomm to connect to the Academic Vax through campus modems.
This type of access is text based only, and does not support graphics.
For a menu of available resources, set your modem software to call 664-2301. The menu includes choices for
the Academic Vax, Administration Server, Banner2000, Office Automation, Library Online Catalog, and Computer
Science Servers.
The "Student Guide to Information Resources" in the
bookstore provides information on connecting serially, or click
here for specific instructions on serial communications using
Kermit for IBM computers.
